Question

• What is the average time between blocks on Polygon?
• What was the maximum and minimum recorded time between two blocks?
• How many transactions are done in a block on average?
• How do these numbers compare to L1 such as Flow or Solana, or other L2 such as Arbitrum or Optimism?

Introduction

Ethereum blockchain is one of the most popular platforms for developing and building decentralized applications (DApps). But unfortunately, with the increase in the number of users and programs built on this network, the speed of Ethereum and the amount of fees related to transactions in this network have been disturbed. In other words, Ethereum does not have the previous functionality and has turned from an agile, fast and cheap blockchain into a heavy, slow and high gas cost network. The main reason for such problems is that the scalability of Ethereum does not meet the needs of this network. These cases have a great impact on the purchase of Ethereum.

Using second layer solutions to solve the problems that Ethereum is currently dealing with can be a good solution. Layer 2 solution is a set of different methods that process and confirm transactions outside the main chain. In this way, the pressure on the main blockchain network is reduced, and as a result, transactions are processed much faster and the efficiency of our network is significantly increased. There are various second layer projects that are trying to increase the scalability of Ethereum by providing creative solutions.

Lockchain Poligan is one of the projects that is included in the list of Ethereum's second layer currencies. This project does not make any changes in the Ethereum network and is built on the same protocol. That's why Polygon is referred to as an Ethereum layer 2 project.

Method

1. I use `flipside_prod_db.polygon.transactions`table 

• to get the maximum , average and minimum recorded time between two blocks at polygon blockchain.

• to get the maximum , average and minimum transactions are done in a block at polygon blockchain.

  2. I use optimism.core.fact_transactions table

• to get the maximum , average and minimum recorded time between two blocks at optimism blockchain.

• to get the maximum , average and minimum transactions are done in a block at optimism blockchain.

  3. I use arbitrum.core.fact_transactionstable

• to get the maximum , average and minimum recorded time between two blocks at Arbitrum blockchain.

• to get the maximum , average and minimum transactions are done in a block at arbitrum blockchain.

  4. I use solana.core.fact_transactions table

• to get the maximum , average and minimum recorded time between two blocks at Solana blockchain.

• to get the maximum , average and minimum transactions are done in a block at Solana blockchain.

  5. I use flow.core.fact_transactions table

• to get the maximum , average and minimum recorded time between two blocks at Flow blockchain.

• to get the maximum , average and minimum transactions are done in a block at Flow blockchain.

What is the average time between blocks on Polygon?

• Below we have graphs and a chart related to the average block time, and as it can be seen from the graphs, the average block time in the last seven months on a daily basis for polygon was more than flow and solana.
• By observing the graphs of average block time in the last two months on a daily basis for Polygon, Optimism and Arbitrum blockchains, it can be concluded that the average block time in the last two months, most of the time, except for the week of the previous month, for Ethereum is more than the other two layer two blockchains.

How many transactions are done in a block on average?

What was the maximum and minimum recorded time between two blocks?
